Antonio Gramsci e a Revolução Russa: Uma Reconsideração (1917-1935)
Na ocasião do centésimo aniversário da Revolução Russa e do octogésimo da morte de Gramsci, o presente ensaio se propõe a contribuir para a contextualização histórica da personalidade e do pensamento desse pensador, seguindo uma abordagem que se consolidou sensivelmente nos estudos mais recentes. O tema da relação de Gramsci com o leninismo e o bolchevismo foi debatido infinitas vezes, mas hoje, um quarto de século depois do fim do comunismo na E…
The Cambridge History of the Second World War: Volume 2, Politics and Ideology
War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressin…
Stalin and the European Communists after World War Two (1943-1948)
Two basic differences in the Soviet attitude to Europe can be discerned in the years following the Second World War as compared with the aftermath of the First. On the one hand, although conflicts between imperialist interests, state rivalries over hegemony, economic crises and social turmoil were expected to reappear, it was no longer possible to see revolution in its original sense as the answer. On the other, Soviet Russia was no longer margin…
Concettualizzare l'89: La Prospettiva Storica
Conceptualizing 1989 in historical terms means above all explaining the peaceful fall of the European communist states in a long-term international perspective. The author’s goal is to assess the weight and periodization of the major factors in our understanding of how communism lost its hegemonic challenge to the West in the cold war. Historians have underestimated the legacy of sovietization and the split of the communist movement in the 1950s …
Western Communists, Mikhail Gorbachev and the 1989 Revolutions
Western communists reflected two opposing responses to the final crisis of communism that had matured over time. The French communists represented a conservative response increasingly hostile to Gorbachev's perestroika, while the Italians were supporters of a reformist response in tune with his call for change. Thus Gorbachev was the chief reference, positive or negative, against which Western communists measured their own politics and identity. …
Império, estado e ideologia na URSS stalinista
Muito aproximativos são os atuais conhecimentos sobre os processos de decisão e as estratégias que sustentaram a ascensão da potência soviética sob a liderança de Stalin, um legado irremovível quase até o fim. Vários documentos de arquivo permanecem fora do alcance dos investigadores, a começar por uma parte essencial das cartas pessoais de Stalin. Contudo, insistir na decision making pode ser um equívoco, pois o problema parece ser mais amplo: e…
Reinterpreting the End of the Cold War: Issues, Interpretations, Periodizations
The history of the Cold War is being re-written according to the newly available sources. But first and foremost it needs to be re-conceptualized and framed within the broader historical context that transformed the Cold War from the 1960s onwards, altered the very dynamics of bipolarism, and eventually brought it to its end. The long duration and the unexpectedly peaceful ending of the Cold War call for new views that transcend the established p…
Stalin and the Inevitable War, 1936-1941
This is a study of the responses of the Soviet Union to the European crises which led to World War II. It is based on a substantial body of political and diplomatic documents that has become accessible to scholars since the opening up of former Soviet archives in 1992
Documents - Meetings between the Italian Communist Party and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Moscow and Rome, 1978-80
Stalin, Togliatti, and the Origins of the Cold War in Europe
Soviet policy toward the Italian Communist Party (PCI) from 1943 to 1948 exemplified Josif Stalin's complicated relationship with the West European Communist parties and Western Europe in general. For a considerable while, Stalin insisted that the PCI follow a policy of moderation. Palmiro Togliatti, the leader of the PCI, heeded Stalin's orders and tried to ensure that the Italian Communists pursued a policy of national unity and avoided conflic…
The papers on foreign and international policy in the Russian archives [The Stalin years]: The Stalin years
Silvio Tons. The papers on foreign and international policy in the Russian archives: The Stalin years. This article reports a research experience in the Russian archives on several aspects of Stalin's foreign policy in the 1930s and 1940s. The opening of the Russian archives has been particularly selective in the field of foreign policy. Though an impressive process of declassification of archival materials has been undertaken, this not always re…
